Russian Dolls

I went from Moscow to St. Petersburg

On the midnight train

I knew I must go, two years without a word

Could you feel the same?

Eleven thirty, at the Vok Sal

My guardian angel knew

My frozen footfall, on the platform

Leads me back to you

This coldest of wars

Where I stand to lose

The best thing I ever had

It's something I want so bad

Ten hours from Leningrad

To see your face again

Is all I need

You give the life to me

And air to breath

And when you're there, well then

I'm not so cold

When we're alone again

As close as Russian dolls

Did I see you? Oh, I can't be sure

In the gathering crowd

Our connection, always so secure

Signal's not so loud

So I come to you

What else can I do?

You're the best thing I ever had

You're something I need so bad

Ten seconds from Leningrad

To see your face again

Is all I need

You give the life to me

And air to breath

And when you're there, well then

I'm not so cold

When we're alone again

As close as Russian dolls
